Before You Raise Your Voice, Remember This...Matot Massei

**Parenting in the Parsha | Matot-Masei** This week's parsha contains a remarkable lesson that can transform the way we parent. Hashem refers to the battle against Midyan as both **the revenge of Bnei Yisrael** and **the revenge of Hashem**. The Alter of Kelm explains that they are one and the same—because when someone hurts Hashem's children, they are hurting Hashem Himself. What would happen if we brought that awareness into our parenting? In this week's Parenting in the Parsha, we explore how remembering that our children are first and foremost **Hashem's children** can change the way we correct, discipline, and connect with them. We also look at what modern research says about why children thrive when their identity is protected, even while their behavior is being corrected.
